China's National Theater will very likely be reinspected after another work by its French designer Paul Andreu, a terminal at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport, collapsed Sunday, according to a member of the theater's owner committee.

The Beijing News reported the story, saying that before Andreu's design of the theater was finally approved, it had sparked hot debate especially among architects, though the majority of the disputes lay in the design's appearance instead of its security.

The National Theater, located near Beijing's central Tiananmen Square and behind the Great Hall of the People, boasts an enormous glass and titanium tear-drop-like bubble surrounded by water.

The French architect behind the ambitious project said he hoped his controversial building would become one of the landmarks of the Chinese capital.

Upon learning of the accident, Andreu cut short his stay in Beijing and rejected to predict the cause of the collapse, adding that his design of the terminal might have been "bold", but the materials used were "nothing revolutionary", according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Wu Huanjia, a professor with the School of Architecture of Qinghua University, one of China's top universities, was quoted by the newspaper as saying that it is unreasonable to suspect the National Theater's security just because the Paris airport was designed by the same architect.

Chinese president Hu Jintao, after hearing two Chinese were killed in the tragedy immediately asked the Chinese Foreign Ministry to assist the French side to help the injured and handle properly the affairs regarding the Chinese victims.

The killed Chinese man was named Wu Xin, 32, a sales manager from the Beijing Mashi Trade Corporation, the other Chinese who was killed was named Liu Jianfang, about 30, a sales woman from the firm's office in Xiamen.
